He was signed by the Cleveland Indians in 2017 and made his pro debut in 2018, hitting .309/.361/.436 for the DSL Indians with 7 steals in 7 tries, splitting time between first base and catcher. Moving to the outfield the next year, he batted .243/.301/.306 for the AZL Indians Red. The 2020 season was wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, he was 7-for-38 with 3 doubles and 3 walks for the Lynchburg Hillcats after joining the team in late August.

Starting in right, he produced at a .250/.379/.333 clip with 5 RBI in 8 games; he had 8 putouts, an assist and no errors. In his Venezuelan League debut, he was 1-for-7 with a walk and a RBI for the 2024-2025 Bravos de Margarita, with MLB veteran Ramón Flores the primary left fielder.
